Form time to time we get a domestic broadband outage, but whenever it occurs, I’m never quite sure whether it’s a problem at my end, or with the exchange. On such occasions, I have a bookmarked link on my phone to the BT broadband status/issues page: http://btbusiness.custhelp.com/app/service_status Digging around last night, I found a site [...]

Mulling over where I’m situated on Google+, it occurred to me that I should probably start looking at cross-network networks…for example, comparing public social networks across Google+ and Twitter. A handy tool for this is the (little known?) Google Social API otherme service. This lets you look up identities that are, in one way or [...]

Here’s a quick recap of the questions being asked: The PDC consultation questions were as follows: Chapter 4 – Charging for PDC information 1.

A quick follow on to the previous post on UK Ministers’ meetings… I resolved the differences between organisation names, calculated the weighted degree of each node (which takes into account edge weights, rather than just the degree), and plotted the organisations with greatest weighted degree (node size; the colour ranges blue-red and indicates the actual [...]

(The first release of the spreadsheet actually omitted the column containing who the meeting was with, [...]

I haven’t really entered into the spirit of Google+ yet – I haven’t created any circles or started populating them, for example, and I post rarely – but if you look at my public profile page you’ll see a list of folk who have added me to their circles… This is always a risky thing [...]
